queen of the universe, space mom™ to many, professional badass, slayer of the galaxies. my fav

Here comes the General. 

RISE UP

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve been waiting for. The pride of the Resistance: Leia Organa!

Check it–
Can I be real a second?
For just a millisecond?
Let down my guard and tell the people how I feel a second?
Now I’m the model of an interstellar general,
The adulated Ald’raanian Organa whose men are all
Lining up, to put me up on a pedestal
Forgivin’ me my relatives
Establishin’ my elegance and eloquence
But the Rankor is in the room
The truth is in ya face when ya hear the Order’s lasers go–

PEW

Any hope of success is fleeting
How can I keep leading when the people I’m
Leading keep retreating?
We put a stop to the bleeding as damn Hux breaks Hosnian
Where’s the Force?  And worse–

WE ARE OUTGUNNED!

WHAT

OUTPLAYED!

WHAT

OUTNUMBERED
OUTWEIGHED!

VVOOM VVOOM VVOOM VVOOM VVOOM

We gotta fight or else we’ll fade!
Ayo, I’m gonna need a
Right-hand aide.

So @seananmcguire is the actual best.

I have thoughts:

  • man the dialogue in Return of the Jedi is sometimes so awful that you cannot help but laugh
  • Speaking of RotJ, how terrible was Palpatine’s master plan with Luke??? Like….it was first be evil with us so cool then it became be evil by killing me i win hahaha and then it was actually that was a stupid plan kill him so good and then it was like FUCK ALL OF THIS
  • And, like, I really see the family resemblance between Luke’s Super Awesome Plan Skills and dad’s. Sure, let’s just pick this lighting porcupine fartsack up and, yeah, throw out the garbage. This is directly related to Luke’s plan of ‘let’s just walk in on jabba and then get captured one at a time and then more captured and then demeaned and captured all for my CUNNING PLAN OF HITTING EVERYTHING NEARBY.’
  • also I got the impression that the ewoks were actually not included in the planning stage of “attack the force generator” because (a) they weren’t and (b) everyone was under the impression that han’s group would do the trick because of Evil Plan Reasons. And yet somehow the Ewoks had an incredibly Home Alone arsenal of trickery without the Setting Up The Trickery montage. What gives??
  • Did people really like ewoks when this film came out? Like, deep down? Or was it just Lucas and his militia teddy bear games?
  • You know what I love about the Jabba sequence in RotJ though? I love how many alien races are sticky or drippy or just downright disgusting to look at. The way planets get blown up in this series, whole species probably come and go and then have to find a way to breed or at least to live and it’s so cool how weird they can get.
  • all of han’s plans seem to be pretty legit, comparatively. I mean, he’s trying. He makes the effort to talk to the dude over the intercom or try to bargain out of things and then there’s Luke over there swooning around being like I AM A DANGER TO EVERYONE I LOVE, I SHOULD PROBABLY DIE and people have to keep being like FINE, LUKE, BUT ACTUALLY COULD YOU MAYBE MAKE ONE OF THE OFFICIAL MEETINGS, WE HAVE A REBELLION TO RUN HERE.
  • Also the way he swans in like I TOO SHALL JOIN HAN’S TEAM, YAY TEAM, EVERYONE HUG ME
  • Also I feel like maybe he and Ben still chat and Ben is the one who convinced him to grow his beard. Not, like, cool Alec Guiness beard, but full on Ewan I-make-my-own-lightsaber-noises MacGregor beard, the kind that looks like someone pulled the stuffing out of a teddy bear on glued it to their face because they wanted to look like a grown up.

This is all true

so a lot of fantasy settings do the thing where there’s one or two or maybe three human societies, all based on European cultures unless they’re bad guys, and then the non-human cultures are all based on non-European cultures, like orcs will be loosely based on Mongols and there’ll be an animal race with superficial Native American trappings.  And for many reasons this can get really annoying.

But what if we turn it around?  There’s an awful lot to explore if we stick a different angle on it.  I want to see a thing where the human kingdoms are based on, say, imperial Mali around the time of Mansa Musa and the Mughal empire, and then maybe the orcs are based on pre-Roman Gaul, and the marauding beastfolk raiders look like Polish winged hussars, and your secretive-and-xenophobic but wise-and-spiritual elves or whatever are based on all the most alien and unfamiliar bits of medieval Catholicism.

can you even fucking imagine how insufferable a bunch of catholic elves would be

If Jesus was born from a virgin birth, doesn’t that mean he has only an X chromosome. Wouldn’t that make him female?

wait

TRANS JESUS TRANS JESUS TRANS JESUS

I have taken 3 years of Theology, 1 of Apologetics, and 1 of Anatomy and Physiology and I’m honesty stumped by this one

Those species which are parthenogenic (i.e. self-fertilising, certain lizards, snakes, frogs and fish) the offspring is always genetically/physically female-typical. So yeah, if we were to take the nativity as a scientific story, a parthenogenic human pregnancy (still a scientific impossibility) would result in an AFAB child, and since that child has always been referred to as “he”, voila, trans jesus.

Actually, I think that depends on species? Like, New Mexico whiptail lizards are an entirely female all-parthenogensis all-the-time species, but Komodo dragon parthenogensis always results in males because their chromosome determination is different.

So clearly, to get to the bottom of this mystery, the first question we need to ask is what kind of reptile was Mary.

Tumblr, asking the real questions

Raptor Jesus born of a Raptor virgin.

Merry Christmas, y’all.

@twentyonelizards

*nodding* solid science lads

Sex determination is a complex and fascinating field. As far as I can tell, here are our possibilities.

It seems Mary did, in fact, undergo
parthenogenesis. As stated above, offspring produced from partho varies. For example, snakes have ZW chromosomes with females being ZW
and males being ZZ, so a female can produce male OR female offspring in this way.

In addition to this, some reptiles use
temp-dependent sexing! This means it’s possible that Jesus was a male because Mary laid him in
an appropriate-temperature manger.

And then we come on to intersex conditions. For
example: Jesus could have been XX, but had congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), causing
his outward appearance to become masculinized. A myriad of other conditions could have led to a similar consequence.

So, in
conclusion: reptile Jesus, intersex Jesus and trans Jesus are all viable options, and i support a combination of the three.

Or how about Mary being a chimera, having male gonads (improbably, but not impossibly) surviving inside her body from a devoured male twin, and being self-fertile?

Life, uh, finds a way

There is nothing I don’t love about this.
